Unchanged. Here it be.........

<object width="500" height="300" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" />
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$id}&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="opaque" width="500" height="300" />
</object>

Should I be going transparent?
I can't remember now for the life of me

Try changing it to <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

Or better still, use the iframe version.

<iframe width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/{$id}?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Excellent, thank you. That has cured it.

Just out of curiosity, why isn't the wmode by default if it helps?

Wmode is default, but it looks like iOS may just ignore it.

The iframe version is the YouTube default now (has been for a while).
